Back Bay Hotel Guide

Recommended Hotel: The Boston Common Hotel
Why: Best Rates, Clean and Comfortable

There are numerous hotels in the Back Bay area of Boston, but our favorite is The Boston Common Hotel. It is the cheapest hotel in the area at a rate of $86 on weeknights and $115 on weekends. Other hotels in the area start at a rate of $150/night and go up from there. If you’re looking to splurge, the Colonnade Hotel is also nice and has an outdoor pool and their restaurant Brasserie Jo is great for a special occasion. But we still prefer The Boston Common because it’s the ideal mix of cost-savings and comfort. Parking is also inexpensive for the area at a rate of $27/night. There’s no restaurant or breakfast offered, but there are so many great restaurants in Back Bay/Copley that most guests don’t mind. WiFi is free in public areas, but not in guest rooms. We recommend The Boston Common Hotel to travelers looking for an inexpensive hotel in the heart of Boston.
